Answer
Hi Matt -

This is a very detailed and a job that requires a few special tools. If you have only basic knowledge and basic tools for engine repair, I suggest you take it to a competent mechanic. To give you instructions on this forum would be almost impossible as there are so many things that come into play. What I will do, is recommend you to a couple sites that will help you with the repair, they have diagrams to assist you -

www.autozone.com
www.2carpros.com

Try those.

Good luck, and hope this helps -
